E-Waste Drive

Overview

An E-Waste Collection is a great way for students to be empowered to keep harmful
chemicals found in electronics such as computers, phones, batteries, etc out of
our landfills. Hazardous chemicals such as mercury leach from the e-waste and seep
into the land, potentially spreading to water sources. By hosting an e-waste
collection at your school, you are creating an easy way to help the broader
school community dispose of their e-waste properly. In the process, you are
teaching other students and parents not to throw away old electronics and inspiring
everyone to reduce, reuse, and recycle electronics in the future. The e-waste
collection activity could even be hosted as a fundraiser for the school.
